    WTF.... I just also noticed my right rear wheel is cracked as well from that same track day. So within an hour at the track in one day: Broken rear a-arm mount (had to replace entire gearbox) $30 Rear shock shaft bent and leaking shock body (new big bore shocks set $50) Bent front toe...

    Funny how I knew that right? :LOL: That dude is totally the guy who gets picked on all day at school or his job and needs to flex his mod muscle whenever he can to feel important and feel like he has some authority over someone. I've had my own run in with that guy as well as there being an...

    I meant all that broke in one day, not the first day I had it. Although to answer your question, my Traxxas Stampede vxl broke on the first day I ran it. Barely hit a wooden planter and the front left steering knuckle snapped like a twig. So the answer is, a Traxxas does. :D

    I just sat down to put on my replacement parts and found out I can add a bent rear shock shaft and now leaking shock to the list of ONE DAY breakages. So to recap, one day at a carpet track, no huge jumps, and: 1) broken in half rear shock tower 2) Broken rear gearbox 3) bent rear shock shaft...

    Of course, I don't disagree. But EVERY time I take out either of my Traxxas vehicles it breaks or has an issue of some sort. When I take my Arrma out I have the confidence that I'm going to have fun with it and maybe something might break on the off chance. When I take my Traxxas out I literally...

    Mind you the purpose of this thread isnt to mindlessly bash a rival compamy, but to give fair warning to anyone who might be considering buying the crap these guys sell. I was duped into them as they seemed popular and seemed quick and easy to get back into the hobby. Well, at least they taught...

    My 1/8 scale 4wd talion has already proven to be cheaper than my 1/10 2wd ruslter vxl after replacments and necessary upgrades. I def regret ever buying that and my stampede which I'm also def going to lose money on selling it, but keeping it is just going to cost more in the long run, and I...

    The new indoor is only a 1/10th scale track so could't run my talion (spring can't come soon enough to run on the big track) and only other car I have atm is my Stampede, which I'm selling and picking up a proper 1/10 scale racing kit so I'm not chancing breaking it before I sell it. lol :)

    I've been known to bash Traxxas a little in my threads, but only because of how often I break these money pits trying to pass for "hobby grade" rc cars. Today was no exception. Took my Rustler to the new indoor carpet track the club I frequent opened up today for practice runs.. I didn't even...
